3 interior design rules for great interiors

When it comes to interior design, one must be very particular about the symmetry and harmony.  To achieve this there are certain rules that if you follow your design will look great and appealing.

1.  3/3 Vertical rule: This is a concept by designer Mark McCauley.  This was brought forth by stripping nature to colours.  According to this the darkest colours are found in the ground like soil, mud, and the very earth.  While the medium tones are in the middle like plants, building, the bodies of water and lastly on the top is the lightest the sky, the clouds, and sunlight.  We can use these elements to interior design and room will look beautiful and balanced.  Using the darker elements on or near the floor, the medium shades in the middle and the lightest on the top.   It is suggested to ascend from dark to light rather than light to dark in interiors.

2.  60-30-10 rule: This rule is all about creating the perfect colour palate for your space. 60-30-10 rule is choosing a main colour, a secondary colour, and an accent colour.  Your favourite colour should just be one of them.  The 60% would be your wall(paint or wallpaper), rugs, sometimes a sofa.  The 30% would be the window treatments, accent chairs, bedding, furniture, accent walls.  Lastly the 10% would be your decor, artworks, throw pillows etc.

3.  Rule of odds: Basically this is arranging or grouping items in odd numbers.  Surprisingly, the odd number groupings look more balanced and visually appealing then even numbered ones. Three is a magical number.
